Meditations of the Heart (Thurman) Section 2 Day 6

What’s the criteria to identifying ourselves? Do we “locate” based on events, persons in our lives, conditions and situations in our lives?

Thurman says “Religion is most helpful in developing in the individual a sense of personal responsibility for one’s actions and thus aiding the process of self-fulfillment. We have a responsibility to our Maker, which only we can claim for ourselves, no one else can do that for us. If we step up to this challenge, then we are left with no alibis, no excuses.” In other words, no whining…

“So,” he says, “don’t seek refuge in excuses but live with ever-increasing vigor and experience.”
